Another moment of inspiration starting with an improvisational 3 min groove exploration recorded on my phone's voice memo function.  Imported that to garage band and added a bit of eq and efx then played it back through my jbl portable speaker while doing a 1 take freesytle lyrical riff and recorded the whole thing into my voice memo software on my phone just using the built in microphone.  Brought it back into garage band and added a little background vocal and some more eq.

Waana Be Free

Wanna Be Free

My daughter just got back to university only to have her partner break up with her and then get unfairly rejected from an internship opportunity...  I took the opportunity to reflect and help her get over all the bullshit.

Callin' Your Bullshit

I decided to start out with a simple beat layer one part at a time on my boss loop machine then a quick freestyle.  

I think I will take this track and develop it into a real song...

Gonna Be Cool (quick phat hip hop sketch)

I sampled the opening bars from the song "Never My Love" performed by The Association in 1967 which was originally written by Don and Dick Addrisi.  I looped the opening bars on my boss 505 then added a few background choral parts and another track of jazz drums (mostly toms and cymbols) then I did a few freestyle takes and this is one of them...  This is not meant to be a commercial track and is just a sketch for fun.

Rebalancing Day (improvisation sketch)

Jungle atmosphere blended with some trap hats, letting the bass rumble while the Villain kills it 

Tales of a Villain pt. 1

A friend of mine recently revealed to me in public that he is fighting a serious life threatening illness.  I did not have many words at the time, just hugs and deep empathy.  Today I thought about him, reflecting on the fragility and value of life.  I made this for him in my typical improvisational style...

p.s. I am under no delusions of thinking I am a good singer ; )

For Miko

Another vocal freestyle groove reflecting on the latest fires like the LA wildfires and the Gaza cease fire.  On this day, January 20th when we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. but at the same time Trump is inaugurated, I am just wondering where is the fire in people's hearts to act to make the world a safer and better place...

Where's Da Fire!

Another in the series with the sounds of summer infused...

Sun Blessed Laziness

These tracks were produced during a live improvisational vocal meditation call FLOW led by Scott Bolden at Das Baumhaus Berlin.  All recordings are excerpt from the actual live, unrehearsed sessions with mostly non-musicians and inexperienced meditation practitioners.

These sessions run every Thursday  for 1 hour at Baumhaus Berlin in the evenings and every last Wednesday of each month for 3 hours.  Private sessions can also be booked.
